3 minute read
Wide Area Networks (WANs) are computer networks that span a large geographic area, such as a state, country, or even the entire globe. They are used to connect multiple smaller networks, such as LANs (local area networks) and MANs (metropolitan area networks), and to provide a way for users to share data and resources across long distances. WANs are essential for businesses and organizations that have multiple locations or that need to communicate with customers or partners in different parts of the world.
